The Graduate Studies in International Affairs program offers up to
four Hedley Bull Scholarships each year for full-time study in the

Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the Master of Arts
(International Relations).

When applying for the MA (International Relations), eligible
applicants for the Hedley Bull Scholarship should include a covering
letter indicating their interest in being considered for the
scholarship and making the case for being granted one. The covering
letter together with the application for the MA (International

need to provide a separate application. The scholarship provides a
full-fee waiver for three full-time sessions (semesters). This amounts
to 48 units of graduate coursework and a 24-unit thesis session.

Closing date for receipt of complete application for scholarship: 30 October 2009
